Jake Bennett delivered five shutout innings to earn his first win with the Senators, while the Senators’ bats came through with timely hits.

Wallace later added a clutch RBI single in the ninth for insurance.

Johnathon Thomas chipped in with two hits, an RBI, and his 18th stolen base, while Phillip Glasser collected a hit, an RBI, and swiped two bags, pushing his season total to 30. In all, the Senators piled up 13 hits and forced Chesapeake pitchers into seven walks.

Bennett (1–2) scattered three hits and three strikeouts over his five scoreless frames. After Creed Willems’ homer in the sixth cut into the lead, the Baysox rallied with two more runs in the eighth to pull within 5–3. Samuel Vasquez entered and shut the door, retiring the final four batters for his first save of the season.
